I've been researching lemon trees for awhile. I came across this Meyer lemon tree and it had really good reviews. After a month or so, I finally decided to get it. The price was reasonable so even if it didn't work out, I wouldn't lose too much money. I ordered the tree on a Monday and it came on Thursday... much faster than I expected. The packaging was great, the soil was still moist and the tree looked very healthy ( even though it was sitting outside for the whole day in 40 degrees weather). The tree measures 17" from the top of the pot to the tallest branch. There are two golf ball size lemons and a bunch of tiny ones. There are some flowers waiting to blossom. The tree also has new growth on it. Overall I am extremely happy and excited for the tree to grow. I will attach some pictures so hopefully it will be helpful for the next buyer.

UPDATED June 21, 2012: The lemon tree is still doing great. The two golf ball sized lemon survived--the tiny ones did die and drop off. However, the tree has been blossoming so much. Even if it doesn't produce a lot of lemons, it's a great indoor plant. The blossoms smell incredible and it is beautiful. I'm hoping to repot it soon so it can continue to grow. I hope Hirt adds other citrus trees to their collection, I would definitely purchase from them again!

I ordered this plant July 2nd, arrived a few days later in perfect condition. I left it in the same pot. It stayed the same for about a month. After that it started to grow very fast, now it shows little flower buds. I am very happy with the acquisition. I certainly would recommend this plant.

Updated 9/5/16It has grown a lot, flowered and has a little lemon already, soon it will have to go indoors because I live in Michigan.

Updated 11/16/16I had to change pot before bringing it indoors.It seems to be very happy and has flowered a lot more than expected, second picture shows has well it is doing now.

I bought lemon tree couple of months ago. Was very happy with shipping, packing and overal look! Repotted next day, and it's blooming right now and has several little lemons! I will post several photos, they tell more than any words...Update, 11/10/16, still doing very good, have several really nice ripe lemons!

Ordered this tree in early June 2017 and wanted to wait to write a review until we had the tree long enough to make a solid recommendation. I left the tree in the pot it was shipped in for about 2 months, then I upgraded to a slightly larger pot due to it being root bound. I used miracle grow citrus soil (I think it is called succulent and citrus potting mix) with some organic citrus fertilizer. As of now I have to say the tree is extremely successful and I am more than happy with our purchase.

It arrived packaged with a key lime tree I bought from the same seller. I was a little worried that the shipping would be too rough but they were packaged well and arrived with nothing more than a couple damaged leaves. Left the tree out all summer and within about a month(July 2017) it had blossoms forming which was very exciting. Continued watering when the soil was dry and adding fertilizer when recommended by the manufacturer.As I live in Chicago we knew the tree would have to come in for the winter, luckily we have a large south facing window where I hoped they would get enough light to continue keeping the fruit gorwing, by this time we had around 15 lemons that we're about the size of table tennis balls.

Around December the tree put out another set of blooms and I manually pollinated them with a few successes. I didn't want to get too many fruits going as I wanted to keep the larger ones growing. As of right now it is still doing very well with new foliage continuing to sprout. I would estimate it gets around 6-7 hours of direct sunlight a day and the room it sits in is pretty warm, around 80°f during clear skies. The lemons are now about the size of a racquet ball and fortunately we haven't lost a single fruit.

Apologies for the long review but I was somewhat skeptical when purchasing online and wanted to assure any future buyers that the plants are strong and will be great providers as long as you follow the growing guidelines. I would happily purchase more trees if I had the room to grow them, I strongly recommend.

My first lemons have just started blooming! Given my 100% fatality record with plants, I can't believe that the ONE plant that probably shouldn't have survived (being that it's a citrus tree in New England), is blooming like crazy! I can't wait to see these suckers grow up.Feeling like proud mama!

It arrived in a box, well wrapped. When I opened it, the leaves were slightly bent from the wrapping. There was also only one branch on the tree. I was expecting a few branches as displayed in the picture as well as based off of other customer reviews. I am disappointed with my order. I understand not receiving a tree with fruits or flowers, but this tree only had one branch.

We don't get a lot of sunlight through our windows because it's a ranch house with an overhanging soffit. The only window with a patch of sunlight is the bay window which gets morning sun. I realized this might not be enough for a fruit tree, but I decided to try a Meyer lemon there anyway.

The plant arrived well packed, healthy, and a decent size. I re-potted it right away into a larger vessel with good drainage using Miracle Grow soil for citrus plants. I've watered once a week, and it's always dry by then.

I've had it for 2 months, now. Even though the weather outside is warm enough for it, I've kept it inside. Last month I had to treat it and a mini rose next to it for bugs (the little web-making ones). I'm not sure which plant was to blame for bringing the bugs in, so I didn't assume it was this lemon. I used insecticide soap - two applications - and every infected leaf dried up and fell off. They looked pathetic! But soon afterward new leaves grew to replace them.

Today I took this photo of the tiny lemons that have just begun to grow on it. I'm amazed to have lemons so soon (and so soon after the bug problem)! I don't often rate anything 5 stars, but I'm quite happy with this plant.
